On April 30, 2010, LECG Corporation (LECG or the Company) entered into a Senior Management Agreement (the Agreement) with Mr. Samek, which provides that Mr. Samek will be employed under the terms summarized below.
Mr. Samek will serve as our Chief Executive Officer. His employment is at will and has no specified term. His initial annual salary is $700,000 (effective from March 15, 2010) and his initial target bonus is 75% of salary for calendar 2010, with eligibility to receive the bonus to be based 60% on attainment of Company financial performance metrics and 40% on attainment of individual performance metrics. The performance metrics are to be determined by the Board, based on a proposal to be developed and presented by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Effective May 3, 2010, Mr. Samek is receiving a grant of 1 million shares of restricted stock under our 2003 Stock Option Plan, subject to time-based vesting over five years of continuous service, with annual cliff vesting on the anniversary of the date of grant in the following percentages: 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%. Mr. Samek is also entitled to receive other employment benefits that are generally available to our executive and managerial employees, including medical, dental, life and disability insurance, and to participate in retirement and deferred compensation programs. In the event Mr. Sameks employment is terminated by the Company without cause, Mr. Samek is eligible to receive severance benefits of 150% of his annual salary paid monthly over an 18 month period, and (if he so elects) payment by the Company of COBRA premiums to maintain group heath plan coverage for him and his beneficiaries for up to 18 months. The right to receive severance benefits is conditioned upon Mr. Samek providing a general release of claims to the Company. The Agreement also contains non-compete covenants and covenants not to solicit employees of the Company during the term of employment and for a period of two years thereafter.
A copy of the Senior Management Agreement with Mr. Samek is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1. The foregoing description of that agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the exhibit furnished with this report.
